Code::Blocks C++ Help? [SOLVED]

Question

I've downloaded, installed, reinstalled, messed with settings but no matter what I do, I cannot get code blocks to run the basic 'hello world' program, and this one wasn't even written by me. No windows pop up, I see no errors, i don't know what is going wrong.

Answer 1

It seems that you have wrong project path (folder where project is stored). Does it contain spaces?

Answer 2

Hi. Could you send screenshots after starting a program and a list of your actions? Information about your OS and compiler also would be helpful.

Answer 3

I recommend you to read this article about asking questions. It can help you to be understood when you ask someone and get the answer faster.

Answer 4

I did. My issue was special characters and spaces in my path. My issue is resolved and everything is working properly now

Answer 5

The real solution is to switch to a better IDE

Answer 6

Windows 10, code::blocks 20.03, full installation, default settings for c++ as I understand it. I just started yesterday (technically the day before, but i don't count until i sleep)

I've read the article (thank you), but my problem is not the code, the first project that is opened wasn't written by me.

Answer 7

I think you didn't install mingw.

Answer 8

Seems like compiler isn't set yet?

Answer 9

The same code as in the "hello world" lesson

What is output in "Build log" tab when you press the build button (gear icon)?

I don't have a 'build log' tab, and I don't know how you send screenshots on desktop sololearn

Press the F2 key. So it appears below code editor

To send screenshots you can use any cloud (Google drive etc)
